It is with great sadness to hear the passing of a great Man. Peter came into my life when I was a young AFS student from Malaysia to USA in 1981, His presence at UCLA filled the whole gym. He made each one of us feel special when it mattered the most during the year being away from home;

Peter kept close contact with me in Malaysia thru letters (prior to emails technology), visits to Malaysia and few years ago in UK. He always takes a keen interest to what is happening in my life and had a fatherly advice on hand.

I only knew Peter but reading all the praises written about him, I have a glimpse of the rest of his surrogate children all around the globe,
